Arising from “discrete mathematics,” automate theory focuses upon self-operating virtual machines devoted to computational analysis. Beginning with non-deterministic finite state designs, colonial researchers and engineers eventually reached the stage of constructing Buchi autonomous systems that utilize omega-limit mathematical languages for processing information and decision-making. The optimum use of the latter was found to be in the realm of “high-tech” manufacturing. The ability of such systems to foresee production and problems in the future, along with the ability to adjust accordingly, made these the ultimate overseers. Several colonial settlements currently make use of autonomous systems to run manufacturing plants devoted to the construction of complex devices: quantum computers, positronic “brains,” androids, robots, and other automata.
